Color at the End of this Tunnel

fireworks, anyone?

I started this game several years ago. It got interrupted by several things, such as work, moving, getting licensed, finishing another game started previously, moving again, new job, moving again ... You get the picture.

So it's down to the music. I could still refine the UI experience a hundred more times, but I think I just need to get this project done while the time (and winter) is here. And nothing but the music stands in my way. Too bad my piano's 4,000 miles away. Where are you, Live? Actually, I've already started to to take samples and clips from inudge and assemble them in Live with some midi instruments and effects. So far, so good.

A 2012 release appears likely. Heh.

It must be the week for gaming because it seems to be swallowing me whole. After checking and calling numerous electronics retailers, trying to locate a damned Wii to buy, it was my mother that suggested I check Sears. At first it seemed like a silly idea, but a mother knows best, and she also knows Sears is not thought of as an electronics place. Anyways, long story short, they had Wiis stashed in the back, and my Saturday night and Sunday disappeared, leaving my eyes aching from staring at the screen too long.

I've never been a huge fan of the Mario games, but Mario Galaxy is awesome so far. Last night I got sucked into the latest installment of the Metroid Prime series, which, again, is awesome. I think that these would be great games alone, but with the wii's new controls, they become something even more fun and enjoyable.

And then to top it off, Maxis and EA finally announced a release date for Spore: 7 September 2008.
